As we assembled at the greenhouse as we always do before a race, we reminded the team about the discussion on the importance of preparation, per yesterday's team meeting.
We we pleased to see that the team took it to heart and did was was necessary to not only be ready to compete, but also do a nice job competing! Well done, my good and faithful Panthers!!! Let's continue what we did well today so that is makes us better as the season progresses.
The weather was pretty nice tonight, with a nice northerly breeze, which helping things out a lot, comfort wise. I spent time talking about the "bullet" when it comes to putting the team in championship position right from the start. We will practice that a lot more as time goes on, with Monday being the next big opportunity. I also urged the rookies to walk less and run more, just to lower their times. In most cases, we were successful with that. With a few more days of conditioning, we should have most everyone at the point of being able to run the entire distance without stopping.
During the final team huddle, I reminded everyone of next week's first away meet at Dawson Lake, our first big "check point" for the season. This is a race we always point to, and we'll be ready to rip some fine times and personal records next Thursday.
Swirl and Hurl is tomorrow. DQ here we come. Oh, the rookies are nervous about this one. It's always a shocker!
